After the rainy season, it was the winter wheat harvest season in a blink of an eye, and the Norton family's territory was filled with the joy of a good harvest. It is said that during the twenty years since Lorist returned to the Northland, the sky has always been beautiful, and no natural disasters have occurred, which surprised Lorist.
However, Director Speer, who had just been promoted to Earl, didn't take it seriously. He said that there had never been any major disasters in the Northland, and the most important factor restricting the development of the Northland was its remoteness and sparse population. The biggest disaster in the historical records of the Norton family is nothing more than the tide of monsters from the barbaric plains in winter. However, the tide of monsters has long been quelled and exterminated by Lorist with the family's armed forces. Now the Norton family has counterattacked and entered the barbarian wilderness to hunt and kill monsters in order to obtain the fur of monsters.
In addition, the rest is nothing more than man-made disasters. One is that the territorial nobles of the Northland attacked each other for trivial matters, consuming and wasting scarce human resources, and no one could settle down to develop the territory in peace. The second is that the mountain barbarians of the Demon Dragon Mountain range go down from time to time to fight the autumn wind. This was the case with the Norton family's territory back then. Finally, the development of the territory improved a bit, and then the mountain barbarians went down the mountain to plunder, and all their efforts were in vain.
But now the Northland has all become the territory of the Norton family, and there are no other nobles in the territory. Lorist immigrated on a large scale again, invested huge sums of money in the unified planning and development of the family territory, put an end to wasteful and disorderly development and construction, and rectified the traffic and road facilities in the entire Northland, and set up multiple departments to control the family territory. With effective supervision, more than three million citizens regard Beidi as their hometown, living and working here in peace and contentment, which naturally makes the development of Beidi more and more prosperous.
As for the threat of the mountain barbarians, is there still one? An army of 100,000 mountain barbarians blatantly invaded the family territory. As a result, Lorist led the family's armed forces to fight head-on and annihilated them. Then the Norton family's sphere of influence expanded nearly a hundred miles to the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. After leaving the deep mountains and old forests, even Lorist was making up his mind to bring the province of thousands of square kilometers under the family's jurisdiction.
According to Director Speer, the current situation in the Norton family's territory is not generally good, but very good and very good. Lorist, who revived the Norton family to dominate the northern region, will become the most glorious lord of the Norton family and will be recorded in the annals of history, admired and extolled by future generations. Therefore, Director Speer meant that Lorist could stay in the family territory and enjoy a few years of happiness, as long as he didn't make any troubles.
Lorist also had this intention a long time ago. Since he decided to return to the Northland to inherit the title and family territory, he has been running around for twenty years, either leading troops to fight or fighting all the time, and staying with his family less often. Fortunately, he still has a group of capable and reliable subordinates. With the concerted efforts of all, the Norton family has finally reached the current stage. Lorist felt that it was time for him to rest, and by the way, he could also enjoy the luxurious and luxurious life of the legendary nobles in the territory.
But soon Lorist found that he didn't have the good fortune to enjoy life in peace at all, and there were always troublesome things that he had to decide on himself. For example, the Lord Viscount Josk who came to see him now, the famous golden archer of the Norton family, Lorist's confidant knight and love general, solemnly stated that he was going to take the hunting cavalry to hunt in the barbaric plains, and by the way, he would carry out training train.
Lorist went over and touched Josk's forehead, didn't he have a fever? what is going on? Everyone knows that April to September is the season of estrus, mating and giving birth for monsters. Even if the Norton family goes hunting in the wild, it is usually after October. The monsters have accumulated a lot of fat and are preparing to survive the severe winter. Go hunting at this time Warcraft is the right time, that is the best time for Warcraft's fattest fur. It's only a little over April now, and those monsters are all skinny after a winter, and the carnivorous monsters are also at their most ferocious, so go hunting now.
Obviously, Farea, the head of the Chaser Legion, didn't agree with Josk's suggestion, and Malek of the family's armed forces probably didn't give Josk a good look, so Josk came to see him to persuade himself. However, Lorist was curious about the reason why Josk, who had always been a little tired and didn't care much about the affairs of the legion, would be so active in preparing to take the troops to the barren field for training. This seemed to be somewhat contradictory to Josk's personality.
"What happened? Joe, you should take good care of your Viscountdom now. By the way, it's time to find yourself a companion. As the lord, what I care about is whether our subordinates, the Josk family, can pass on. Not for my soldiers to go hunting in the Wild this spring and summer. As your friend, I want to advise you, Jo, that your devotion to love moves and breaks all hearts. But I think of your love, Your fiancée in the spirit of heaven also hopes to see you happy and start a family, instead of living alone in remembrance of the lost love." Lorist followed Josk's instruction.
Lorist met Josk on his way north. Josk's adoptive father, Baron Umado, had an enmity with Count Cobili. As a result, on the day Josk married the only daughter of his lover, Baron Umado, Count Cobili The castle of Baron Umado was raided, Josk's lover jumped off the castle in order not to be humiliated, Baron Umado was also killed. Josk was seriously injured and rescued by his subordinates, and has been involved in the war of revenge against Count Cobili ever since.
It's just that Earl Cobili was too powerful at that time, almost sweeping the entire northwest region. And Lorist happened to be passing through the northwest region with the northbound convoy, and clashed with Earl Cobili's family armed forces. At that time, Josk defected to Lorist, and Lorist also took the convoy armed to destroy the family of Earl Cobili, allowing Josk to avenge his wish and fulfill his wish. It's just that Josk has always missed his lover, and determined not to marry for life to commemorate his lost love.
Regarding Lorist's persuasion, Josk's eyes dodged a little, and he hurriedly argued that he just wanted to do more for the family. At the end of last year, because of the New Year's celebration and the knighting ceremony, the family canceled their plan to hunt in the barbaric plains, which made Earl Speer, the treasurer, very distressed. Because Morente City and those countries in the central and southern parts of the mainland have extremely strong demand for monster skins, many countries have formed armed legions that can be dispatched in winter. The price of Warcraft fur suitable for making cold and warm clothing has been doubled. Canceling the plan to hunt wildlands in winter means that the family will lose nearly two million goldfords.
Lorist smiled and told Josk that the family's financial situation is good, and there is no need to go hunting monsters in the barren plains in spring and summer, not to mention temporarily stopping the trade of monster furs, which will stimulate the market's demand for monster furs. Therefore, Lorist would not approve the plan of the Chasseurs to go to the barbaric plains. What Josk should do now is to return to his newly expanded viscount territory, manage the affairs of the territory, and be a qualified nobleman of the territory.
Josk looked a little weird when he left, as if there was something unspeakable, but he didn't say it in the end. Lorist became suspicious, so he ordered Genorio to find Viscount Christon, the Director of Internal Affairs, and ask him to find out what happened to Josk...
Two days later, Bodfinger, the head of the Rock Legion and the honorary director of the family's Armed Forces Department, came to see Lorist with a sad face. He came to Lorist to discuss the marriage of his daughter Alyssa. How time flies, twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the eccentric, cute, messy little girl is now a beautiful big girl, and her temper and character make poor Bodfinger worry .
In Lorist's impression, Alisa's memory still lingered on the little girl who acted like a baby to him. This cannot be blamed on Lorist. After leading the convoy northward and returning to the family territory, Lorist no longer had the time to play with Alisa. He was too busy to work hard for the future of the family. He remembered that it was his lover, Miss Teresty, who had accepted Alisa as a disciple before Nico Academy was established, and planned to train her into a little lady.
"What did you say? Alyssa is twenty-eight years old now? She's still the deputy commander of the women's battalion?" Lorist heard some unbelievable news from Bodfinger's chatter.
The women's battalion is an extremely special existence in the Norton family's armed forces. It is not included in the establishment of the main force of the family's armed forces, but enjoys the treatment of the main armed forces. It is also not in the ranks of the family's armed garrison, because it is directly under the jurisdiction and command of the Norton family's mistress, Princess Silvia, or it can be said that they are a vase-like honor guard barracks and field hospitals, rehabilitation centers and art troupes. aggregates.
Lorist once wanted to turn the women's battalion into the role of battlefield rescuers, but it turned out that in the era of cold weapons war, it was really not suitable for women to go to the battlefield. I remember that the first time I sent a female battalion to the battlefield was the king of the Kingdom of Iberia. The rebellious second prince of the former Krissen Empire gathered the nobles of the North to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer the Norton family. The army disappeared in smoke, and the ambition of the second prince was wiped out, and the Kingdom of Iberia came to an end.
The casualties of the Norton family armed forces in that war were negligible and extremely slight. But when the women's battalion went to the battlefield to treat the wounded soldiers of the enemy, they were frightened half to death by the tragedy caused by the steel crossbow, and even almost caused the camp bombing incident in the middle of the night because of nightmares. Later, Lorist assigned the women's battalion to the Flying Tiger Legion, but as a result, many female soldiers from the women's battalion married soldiers from the Flying Tiger Legion, causing a large-scale discharge of female soldiers from the women's battalion. In the end, they had no choice but to Pull out the women's battalion again and form an independent army.
Lorist had to retrain male battlefield ambulancemen in each legion, and then used the women's battalion as an art troupe and field hospital in the family's armed forces. From this point of view, the women's battalion did a good job. The performances of the cultural programs they arranged were well received in the performances of the family's armed forces, which boosted morale. At the same time, wounded soldiers can receive careful care in the women's battalion, which increases the effect of treatment.
Later, after Lorist and Princess Sylvia got married, Princess Sylvia learned that there was a women's battalion in the Norton family's armed forces, so she was very interested in going to the jurisdiction and command. Lorist didn't take it seriously either, and handed over the women's battalion to Princess Sylvia.
"You said that Alisa decided to become a female knight because she saw the majestic appearance of Miss Baisha in the armor of a female knight when she was a child? That domineering Miss Baisha also has admirers?" Lorist opened his mouth...
"Yes, Your Highness. That's why Alisa ran from Niko Academy to Dawn Academy at the age of sixteen, and successfully awakened her fighting spirit and became an apprentice female knight. Four years later, she graduated from the Dawn Academy's knight training. After graduating from the major, she returned to Niko Academy and became the first female knight of the Niko family to serve Miss Tresty. Then she applied to enter the women's battalion, won the trust of Miss Baisha, and was promoted to Silver in the first two years With a two-star battle qi rank, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the women's battalion... "
Bodelfinger was also very helpless. He didn't want to make his family scandal public, but he couldn't help it. The relationship between Alisa and his father had always been tense. Back then, he married the widowed daughter of Earl Spencer, who became a prisoner of the Norton family, as his second wife, which made his son Schward and daughter Alisa very dissatisfied. Schwader is quite sensible, even if he is not happy in his heart, he still maintains due courtesy on the surface. Cute Lisa broke out and ran away from home several times, embarrassing Bodfinger. In the end, it was Miss Tresty who took in Alyssa and the matter came to an end.
In fact, Earl Spencer's daughter is very beautiful and virtuous, which gave Bodfinger a second spring. After so many years of marriage, Bodfinger has two more sons. But Alisa has always refused to forgive him, thinking that Bodfinger, the father, betrayed the dead mother. Only Ms. Theresti's words can make Alisa obey. But Miss Tresty is Lorist's lover, even if Bodfinger is killed, she dare not go to Nico Academy to teach Alisa, a rebellious daughter, so she can only come to Lorist.
"It turns out that Alisa became the female knight of Theresti's family. No wonder I didn't hear about her." Lorist said the truth. If Alisa's allegiance is the Norton family, her name will soon appear in the In front of Lorist. Among other things, Lorist has a pretty good memory, he remembers the names of most of the family's knights.
"Borg, do you mean that you want me to go to Nico Academy and talk to Theresty, so that she can persuade Alisa to marry?" Lorist asked.
"Your Highness, I don't know what to say. Shi Huade has become His Highness's disciple and has already started a family. Now it's no problem if he can stand alone in the future and start a family of his own or return to my family. His future is up to His Highness to decide for him. I have nothing to do with it." Worried. Lovely Lisa is now twenty-eight and unmarried, which is really outrageous.
The problem is that my father's words have no effect on her, and she seems to have her own opinion on her marriage. During this period, there have been quite a few disputes in the family territory. Please forgive me, Your Highness, I can't speak ill of people behind my colleagues' backs, but I hope Your Highness can come forward and stop it, lest this incident about Alyssa's marriage become a joke in the family territory. "
After Bodfinger finished talking like a cloud, Lorist couldn't figure out what to say, and left as if he was escaping. Lorist stroked his chin and wondered for a long time before he came back to his senses, and ordered Genorio to go to Viscount Christon, the director of the internal affairs department, to find out what happened to the so-called Alyssa's marriage. Can't speak clearly...
As a result, in less than half a day, the investigation report on Josk and Alyssa was placed in front of Lorist, and when he opened it, Lorist jumped up on the spot, it turned out to be such a thing!
